About

RevolutionConf is a two-day, platform and language agnostic software development conference.

You're pretty special if you're slinging code.

So many developers silo themselves based off the technology they use. At RevolutionConf, we believe in uniting software developers of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, cultures, and more. We want to learn from the experiences of others in a fun and safe environment!

You are personally invited to join us for 2-days of learning and fun in the sun, at the beautiful north end of Virginia Beach, VA.

Bragging rights that you kicked off the summer by attending a great conference at the beach!

Sponsors

RevolutionConf sponsors are actively committed to supporting the software development community.

Sponsorship options are available to subsidize the cost of everything we try to offer during the conference. This includes food, beverages, speakers travel and expenses, websites, marketing, office supplies, and more.

Without sponsors like you, we would need to triple the price of a RevolutionConf ticket. Our goal is to keep the price of a ticket as low as possible to ensure it is accessible to everyone.
